AI and The Fourth Era of Content Marketing (101) (Virtual)
Using AI to Create and Curate Superior Brand Content
(Virtual Half Day Workshop)
Virtual Workshop Description
Content marketing is certainly not a new topic; it’s been an important part of marketers’ tool kits for years. But it is being dramatically impacted by emerging technologies—most notably, artificial intelligence (AI).
In the early days of the web, brands marketed through online banners and emails urging prospects to visit their websites. Then, in the late 1990s, the second era of content marketing flipped the script with brands turning over control to consumers via UGC and social media. The third era leveraged digital technology to enable a higher degree of personalization and, separately, the notion of Creators versus Influencers.
Finally, the mind-numbing adoption rate of AI has ushered in the fourth era of content marketing. AI-driven solutions are being deployed at each level of content management—in research, creation, personalization, curation, and optimization. However, marketers are also seeing the limitations of automation, particularly in trying to generate AI content that’s creative enough to convert, consistent with brand positioning, SEO-friendly, and legally compliant.
This workshop is excerpted from the companion Full Day Workshop, “AI & the Hyper-personalized Brand”, where participants also explore how to harness AI-driven solutions across every aspect of brand experience, from in-store activation to virtual events, gaming, and more.
